How to Make Spinach Artichoke Dip

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, blend together cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth. Add freshly grated Parmesan, shredded white cheddar, Gruyère, artichokes, spinach, garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  • Stir everything together until fully combined and creamy.
  • Spoon the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle some extra cheese on top for a delightful crust if desired.
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until bubbling and golden brown. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes if you like a crispy top.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving with tortilla chips or toasted baguette slices. Enjoy!

Notes

Optional: Add a sprinkle of chopped green onions on top for a fresh finish!
